We translate clang's On to the corresponding llvm and ptxas On. Llvm emits ptx file, then clang invokes ptxas to compile PTX file into binary

& is the ptxas tool given a specific optimization level? How does it know whether the code is optimized?

But optimizations aren't really a defined thing to the assembler, right? How does nvptx know if optimizations are enabled? - I guess you ask it to do additional optimizations?

Is there a particularly strong/specific/narrow definition of "optimization" that's relevant here/that causes nvptx or whatnot to have problems?

The end goal is have a way to emit '.loc' and '.file' directives only, without the ',debug' option. Maybe,  we could check for the optimization level here: if it is 0, we can emit ',debug', otherwise - disable the emission of the option.

yeah, controlling the ',debug' (what is that anyway? Guess it's an nvptx thing?) would be a bit awkward from a DICompileUnit property - since there may be multiple DICompileUnits in a given module.

Dunno what other debug info owners think about that - could use a module flag, could use a "scan all the CUs" sort of thing (but I guess that sort of "merge this property" functionality is what we have with module flags anyway). Other ideas?

My original question was: what's the end goal here? Generally we don't want to add more backend options (they don't work through LTO, don't work well for LLVM-as-a-library, etc) & would usually either put something in the IR or weave it through the MCOptions or the like. If this doesn't really need to be an option & should just be hard coded for cuda, maybe that's how it should be done.

Ok, I see. In this case we can add a new mode that emits only '.loc' and '.file' directives without the dwarf sections, but we still need to disable the emission of ',debug' option in the target directive.

It sets the emission kind of the DICompileUnit to NoDebug - but it's still a DICompileUnit that goes into the IR, which is distinct from the absence of a DICompileUnit entirely.

No DICompileUnit means no debug info in the IR at all.
A DICompileUnit with NoDebug emission kind is debug info in the IR, but it tells the backend of LLVM not to emit any debug info for this DICompileUnit and the things inside it.

Hmm, what I see in clang codegen that currently it just disables emission of any debug info, including debug locations.

It keeps the debug locations on instructions, but does not emit debug info.

This is used for sample-based profile guided optimization. Optimizations can use the locations on instructions to associate the samples in a profile with those instructions.

No debug info need be emitted in this case.

Yes, that's why Paul mentioned what you want is somewhere between LocTrackingOnly and LineTablesOnly.

Yes, that's the purpose of LocTrackingOnly, which is why it doesn't sound like it'd do what you want? Sounds like you want the line table to be emitted for sample profiling?

I think David is suggesting that you add a new enumeration to DebugInfoKind, in clang/include/clang/Basic/DebugInfoOptions.h.  This would go between LocTrackingOnly (which remembers source locations but does not emit any debug sections) and DebugLineTablesOnly (which emits more than just the line tables, despite the name).

Subject: Re: [PATCH] D45782: [DEBUGINFO, NVPTX] Allow to disable debug info from command line.


Cuda does not allow to compile code at optimization level >0 with debug info, but you can compile code at O1-3 with lineinfo only (i.e. when you have just `.loc` and `.file` directives in the PTX files).

The lineinfo is required for the nvprof, the CUDA profiler. So, our purpose is to emit these directives but without DWARF sections.

Actually, we can live with the DWARF sections in the code for now, the only thing we actually need is just to disable emission of the `,debug` option in the `.target` directive.

But it would be good to disable emission of the DWARF sections. It is required because CUDA tools include the PTX(assembler) file in the resulting binary, thus increasing its final size.

Sounds like sort of "-gno-really-line-tables-only" (I kid, somewhat)

What's the end goal for this functionality? Does it make sense to plumb it through as another level alongside GMLT/limited/full?

For better support of the CUDA profiling tools with the optimized code
we should be able to emit `.target` directive without `debug` option.
This is required as `.line` and `.file` directives must be emitted, but
the DWARF sections should be ignored. ptxas does not support compilation
of the modules with the enabled debug info when optimization level is

> 0, but allows to emit linenumbers for the profilers.

`-no-cuda-debug` option disables emission of the `debug` option, but not
the emission of the debug info itself.
